Day 357. Questions 357 and 358 (2025)

Today is day 357 and we are studying the Section on Justification and Sanctification: Living in Forgiveness and Healing.

357. Is it possible for you to keep these commandments?

No. I fail to keep them perfectly, however hard I try. They show me my inability to obey God’s Law and my need for God’s grace in Christ Jesus. (1 Kings 8:46; Psalms 53:2–3; 130:3; Proverbs 20:9; Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:9–20; 1 John 1:8, 10)

358. Since you cannot perfectly keep God’s Law, what has Jesus done on your behalf?

As the perfect human and unblemished Lamb of God, Jesus lived a wholly obedient and sinless life. He suffered death for my redemption upon the Cross, offering himself once for all as a “full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction for the sins of the whole world.” (“Holy Communion, Anglican Standard Text,” Book of Common Prayer 2019; see also Isaiah 53:4–6; Mark 10:45; John 1:29; Romans 8:3–4; Colossians 2:13–15; Hebrews 10:10–14)

Our prayers today are Proper 17 found on page 619 and The Pascha Nostrum on page 16 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
